Three PETGenes, ITGB3, MMP1, and STAT1 were found to overlap with “top 15 most highly differentially expressed regulator genes in lung TB granulomas” from Subbian et al. (85), 29 genes overlapped (p=7.1e-21; odds ratio=13.7) with “TB blood biomarkers in the lung” from Subbian et al. (85) (Table S8), and although 164 overlapped with the “list of significantly differentially expressed genes common to fibrotic nodules and cavitary lesions” from Subbian et al. (85) (Table S9), this was not significant due to the size of the set (4,417 genes) (p=0.99; odds ratio=0.79). This evidence concerns the gene ITGB3 and tuberculosis.
